hi friends,
                  I want to clarify the following issue
        Plaintiff filed a suit for damages  for which he filed an indigent petition for not to pay the court fees. but his wife deriving a considerable income from the properties which she inherited from her father. and that inherited properties were improved and developed as a house sites with the help of the plaintiff.
     Now what i m asking is wheather plaintiff can claim the indigency  under O.33 of C.P.C though  he doesn't have property in his name?

 plz clarify with citations

His application is not liable to be declined on the ground of his wife's income and property.

when the wife is not a party to the proceedings, he can file as indigent person.
